Windows 10 update due October 17

Great. I just got shoved the Creators update and spent two days fixing all the stuff it broke. At least I have about 6 weeks to get ready.

The Fall Creators Update, first teased at Microsoft Build in May, will include a number of intriguing new features. It includes support for mixed reality devices, improved defense against ransomware and other exploits and a "Find my pen" feature for anyone who regularly misplaces their stylus.

Terry Myerson, Microsoft's executive vice president for the Windows and Devices Group, announced the release date during a keynote speech on Friday at IFA, a consumer electronics show in Germany.

This is the fourth major update for the Windows 10 operating system. Earlier this year, Microsoft said its releases would happen on a "predictable" schedule, coming out every March and September.
